To start it off, I'm 20 and in San Diego right now. I'm planning on leaving California after I finish medic school (a ways away from now, I don't start until January).
Anywho, I'm looking at moving to Texas (not dead set on it, maybe somewhere else in the south). Problem is, Texas is a big place, and I'm not sure where to start my search. I'm basically looking for a place where Fire doesn't dominate the EMS scene and I'm able to live modestly as a single-role Paramedic. I'd like to be somewhere near a metro area (an hour or so one way) if not in said metro area.
The reason Texas is at the top of my list is because the cost of living seems pretty low (what doesn't compared to San Diego?), they accept the NREMT for reciprocity (from what I've read?), and it seems like there are a few people on here who are pretty pleased with their EMS systems in the area. An added bonus is it isn't unrealistic to drive and visit family back here from there.
So... have at it, any and all information helps - including links that will help me obtain information on my own.
